In depth
Verdict
Francis Albert had Kaminski Kabs behind when third in a maiden here on his penultimate start and My Love Fajer finished runner-up the last time he raced in this company. Invincible Hero went close at Newmarket in September and could figure on his return but ROYAL BAJAN gets a tentative vote. James Given's American bred colt cost £125,000 as a two-year-old and won't have to be anything special to take this on his belated debut. Fellow newcomer Take Root is a half-brother to four winners and is worth noting for the future.
